Collectively Creating Pathways to Employment and Careers for Detroit Residents

Why the Detroit Jobs Alliance?

Detroiters need jobs. No single organization, partnership, or model can solve all of the entrenched issues in Detroit. We need an “all hands on deck” approach to creating a neutral space for solving the challenges faced by Detroit’s job-seekers.

The Detroit Jobs Alliance needs you!

We recognize the need for creating a common vision, a shared agenda for action, and a set of norms for how we will work together. So far, a diverse group of community members have attended work groups to share their game-changing ideas.

Through development of a shared platform the DJA is helping:

Community-Based Organizations unite efforts to support education and career pathways for Detroit residents.

City and state agenciesbe more effective in engaging the community.

Businesses and industries learn how to better access local talent.

Detroit residents access the full continuum of support for developing their careers.
